Net income for the three and nine month periods increased primarily due to a higher underwriting gain and higher net investment income. For further discussion of investment results, see MD&A - Investment Results.
Underwriting Gain
Underwriting gain for the three and nine month periods increased due to the effect of earned premium growth, higher favorable prior accident year development, and for the three month period, lower CAY catastrophe losses. These favorable impacts were partially offset by a higher underlying loss and LAE ratio, and for the nine month period, higher CAY catastrophe losses.
Expense ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased primarily due to higher staffing costs, including higher incentive compensation and benefits costs, and technology spend, partially offset by the impact of higher earned premium. The expense ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased primarily due to the impact of higher earned premium, partially offset by higher staffing costs, including higher incentive compensation and benefits costs, and technology spend.
